Chapter 184 Construction
Moreover, the future will definitely not be limited to one's own ghost town, but will expand outside and trade with others! It is not even just demons, ghosts, or righteous people like Taoist monks, or even ordinary people. As long as you have the door-opening talismans and enough coins in your hands, you can buy goods here!
Only in this way can we maximize the value of our currency!
It was also his plan to build a money market!
The deal with this Black Tiger King may be just the beginning.
When the reputation of the future begins, the market will become more and more prosperous, attracting more and more people to join it. Then the strength of the ghost city that will go with the flow will increase, and gradually build its own ghost city into a neutral force different from the good and evil, advocate anti-war and peace, prohibit external struggles from spreading into the city, and become an almost transcendent existence...
Of course, goals like "world peace" may seem a bit too far now, but there is still a definite direction to work hard on.
For example, now this Heihu City has given him a good opportunity to experiment.
If we can trade smoothly with their ghost town, we should be able to continue smoothly in the future...
Although the power of the Black Tiger King is at the level of the Ghost King, he is obviously weak in thinking. He pinched the coin and discussed with his subordinates behind him who seemed to be responsible for the think tank. He probably discussed whether there are any advantages or disadvantages in this, whether there will be any traps, etc.
Du Bai was not in a hurry, just watched them discussing quietly.
If it is said that there are naturally disadvantages, and there are many. After all, I am equivalent to establishing a unified currency system in the current chaotic and disordered demon world. If it is really successful, there will be many benefits, but there will obviously be many constraints, just like some situations on the earth...
However, in this era, without that kind of vision, Du Bai was not worried that these monsters without this concept would realize this potential danger.
Sure enough, after a moment, the Black Tiger King had already discussed the result with his subordinates. Without the original hesitation, he stepped forward a few steps, "We agree with your request! But when will the street market you mentioned start? We are now in urgent need of some resources."
"I will notify you after I finish handling this matter. It will not be tomorrow at the latest, so don't worry."
Since you have already had a preliminary intention, then the next step is to arrange the specific time.
Let the Black Tiger King and others go back first, Du Bai returns to the ghost city and calls the peach blossom demon, telling her about the situation this time, some details including where to build this so-called special trading market, which also needs to be discussed with this Delik who is in charge of all matters in the ghost city.
Although the Peach Blossom Demon could not see at the moment what the purpose of building a so-called market, it was not of use to them at the moment. However, the blind admiration in her heart made her not have any doubts, so she directly began to consider the market arrangement issue.
"King, given that those outsiders are not part of our ghost town, if the market is set up in the city, it is hard to say whether anyone will take this opportunity to sneak in and make trouble. There may be other troubles. So maybe it can be arranged outside the city. Even if there is any accident at that time, it can avoid implicating our ghost town..."
Du Bai listened quietly. In fact, the Peach Blossom Demon's consideration is not unreasonable. She is considering the overall situation from the perspective of the ghost city security. For example, if there are any bald donkeys trying to make trouble and are blocked outside by the city wall, at most they will only lose the street market outside, but the ghost city will not be in danger.
However, Du Bai needs to consider more than this.
The simplest question is, if there is no security in this market, and anyone can get involved, and anyone can smash and loot, what else can you do?
Who will trust the authority of this market? After one or two times, naturally, I will stay away from it for my life and money...
It’s not that this is impossible. In fact, once those righteous people hear that there are a large number of ghosts gathering here, they will probably come to form a group to kill demons and eliminate demons! There is no need to continue to do this market every few days, so it’s better to close the door and be lucky.
If even the safety of the guests here cannot be guaranteed, how can the ghost town create its own special neutral position and how can it ensure the future of this market?
Only within the ghost city, it is within the control of the Nightmare Dragon King. Even if there is any riot, it can be easily suppressed.
Of course, this also has certain risks, but unless a living Buddha was touched by himself like last time, Du Bai would not give in at all. For some small fuss, some demons with slightly higher Taoist craftsmanship can be arranged to be responsible for guarding, which can also be effectively eliminated to a certain extent.
The Peach Blossom Demon naturally followed his arrangements, and for the specific market address, she proposed to build it in the remote northwest direction of the ghost town, and circled an area about the size of a small human town. In the past, there were few demons and ghosts who settled there, so the location was quite empty and far away from the center of the ghost town. If there was any disaster, there would be a certain reaction time so that they would not be caught off guard.
However, to be on the safe side, Du Bai also set up a special barrier here. Only those who hold the jade talisman with the transaction can enter and exit freely on the one end facing the outside world, while the inside facing the ghost city is that only the residents of the ghost city can enter and exit with their identity nameplate.
This will make it more peaceful. If you want to force yourself to break through the barrier, you may only have to wait until your Taoist practice surpasses the Nightmare Dragon King.
Speaking of this kind of special barrier itself is not difficult. It just so happens that Du Bai has learned similar content recently, and now he has put what he has learned into practice.
The teacher was an old ghost who had been practicing Taoism for hundreds of years. In the early years, he was deceived by Taoists using this method many times. He was almost lost. After learning from his mistakes and decided to study hard, he finally achieved some success.
The next thing is much simpler. Just like the scene of the "construction team" that Du Bai saw when he first left the hall, the Peach Blossom Demon sent a large number of ghosts here to build houses and renovate the ground, striving to achieve perfect results.
After all, it is a place to face outsiders. If it is done too ugly, it may lose the face of the ghost city.
Finally, there is the jade talisman, which is the simplest. However, some means must be set up here so that it can point out the specific location of the market, including entrances and exits, which to some extent are equivalent to tickets and small maps.
